"Yongcheng Collection of Immortals" is a book published by China Literature and History Publishing House in 2000. It records the deeds of thirty-seven female immortals, including the Holy Mother Yuanjun, the Golden Mother Yuanjun, Mrs. Shangyuan, and Mrs. Zhaoling Li. According to legend, the Queen Mother of the West lived in Jinyong City, and the female fairies were under the control of the Queen Mother. All the fairies she collected were ancient and modern female fairies, so this is the title of the book. It is included in the genealogy category of the Dongshen Department of "Orthodox Taoist Canon". There are also volumes 114-116 of "Yunji Qizhu", but only three volumes are included. Headed by the Queen Mother of the West, twenty-seven female immortals are recorded, which is quite different from this. "Siku Synopsis" believes that it is Du Guangting's original work, and this book was compiled by adding other books for later generations.
Reader comments
This "Yongcheng Collection of Immortals" records the deeds of many female immortals, which opened my eyes. The author Du Guangting is really knowledgeable and talented. His descriptions are so lifelike that I seem to see the fairy appearance of Mrs. Shangyuan. The stories in the book also made me feel the charm of Taoist culture. It turns out that cultivating immortals and asking questions is not just a legend. After reading this book, I have a deeper understanding of the Taoist world of immortals and some new insights into life. I recommend you read it as well, maybe you will gain something else.
